(trigger warning: new year goals … jk, jk)
Years ago when I opened be well {groomed!}, my tagline was simply:
“live richly, breathe deeply & be well {groomed!}“
I believe then, as I do now, that the breath is the key to wellness, happiness and luminous skin (TBF, this is not a novel idea: without breath, well, we die and that is no great thing for our skin!)
One of the road blocks to my lung health and ability to breathe easily & deeply are my sinuses, their inflammation, the mucus they produce to soothe that inflammation and the resulting havoc that mucus creates in my body (in my gut, my lungs, my skin, my joints and my energy level).
To kick-off my goal of improved lung capacity, I’m starting Dr. Ben’s Osmosis Clarity Cleanse tomorrow, Jan 10, 2023. It’s a nationwide event and I’ve roped in my husband plus several clients to join with me. And, it’s just 10 days (you can do anything for 10 days, right!) plus we’ve designed loads of support, encouragement, recipes, tips and more. I’ve included the protocol and the Day 1 email so you can see what we’re up to and maybe consider joining us for a future event (I definitely plan to utilize this protocol later this year when my sinuses tend to flair).
By thinning and clearing the mucus, we can breathe more clearly and deeply. This makes exercise is more fun and that, in turn, feeds our skin with more circulation, better sleep while improving our mood, outlook, ability to focus and more. See how this is all connected?
And, this reset for my lungs & gut is perfectly timed … toning up my system is the perfect thing to do before I dive into my other goals of toning up the bod, cleaning up my eats etc.
Why focus on breathwork for better skin and wellbeing?
- Controlled breathing brings calm and clarity, allows your systems to work more efficiently
- Breathwork has a proven anti-inflammatory benefit (did you know internal inflammation is one of three causes of acne?)
- Relief from daily and chronic stresses. Who doesn’t need a break from this?
- Increases blood flow —> this is how we nourish the skin
- Gives the lymph system a big nudge —> this is how we remove debris and waste
- Triggers the relaxation response, allowing muscles to relax and relieve tension (good bye frown lines & forehead creases)
- There’s more! Join me this year as I tap into my restorative yoga training to provide breathwork tips, exercises and events.
What is the Clarity Protocol:
- Take a selfie on Day 1
- Ingest 8 capsules of Skin Clarifier AM and PM daily (this supplement is designed to thin and expel l mucus as well as soothing the tissues and decreasing inflammation)
- Ingest 5-7 pumps of Skin Perfection (see weight guidelines on bottle) AM and PM daily
